Classic Sesame Street: Ice Cream HELP! [Broadcast Quality Version]
Ok, gang, what's the title of this song and who did the music? This film is by the same director as the Danger! and Chewing Gum segments, and I thought for awhile it was Jim Talbot (Busby Berkeley 5 Girls Dance on a stage and one resembles "Princess Leia"), but I was wrong! Good Ol Jim kindly reported it wasn't and isn't. Strongly inclined to think the young man in this film was the director's son, as the Danger! and Chewing Gum girl was likely his daughter. (You don't have to pay them and they'll do what you tell them to, you're their parent lol) In this one, the better-known and more iconic of this director's film segments, the boy gets his wish come true from the wacky local ice cream man, but soon finds out what "an embarrassment of riches" is. When he cries out HELP! a ton of kids arrive and... er, "help". He then finds out that help sometimes isn't help. But good ole ice cream man saves the day. Broadcast quality for you at last! Enjoy!

No idea who directed or animated this, although the production year looks 1974-1976. I never paid attention to this clip until tonight and am amazed I never really cared or noticed it. It's great. In it, a TV reporter at an auto race gives us the race highlights using a sign that says stop on one side and start on the other. The marching band segment in this was unnecessary and so wonderful: it took extra work, yet they performed it, simple as an aside and a joke. Thus was the era when people (mostly our parents, Silent Generation) took their work seriously... you'd never see this level of effort in 2023, and I myself am guilty of it. Enjoy this quite fun race car segment... start!

Do you guys remember this one? I didn't! This is a charming and funny song by Joe Raposo all about feet: what they do, and who's got 'em. Please enjoy this not-so-often heard on Sesame Street brand new cup o' Joe!

classic-sesame-street-madrigal-alphabet,
One of the most meaningful Sesame Street segments to my childhood and life, I present you CTW's masterpiece: Madrigal Alphabet, directed by English animator Jeffrey "Jeff" Hale, scored by the legendary black American jazz trumpeter "Professor" Donaldson Toussaint L'Ouverture "Donald" Byrd (yes: of The Blackbyrds, and who also scored Jazz Alphabet single-handedly directed and animated by Vince Collins). Vocalist and music educator Carla Piper and vocalist Sally Kell sang on this recording. Hands down this may very well be the finest example of cel animation in Sesame Street history.

This cartoon teaching the letter G has been uploaded before but never with director credits. The director was Bob Kurtz, creator of The Yellow Yahoo and "This Bone Tastes Like The Letter I". See if you can spot a bit of the former in the wacky game show contestant character's design, and a bit of the latter in the second half of this segment!

classic-sesame-street-the-alphabet-jump
A rarely-shown animated segment depicting three girls playing jump rope while announcing a body part or possession starting with each alphabet letter. A smart little boy tries to play too, but a bossy girl bullies him away -- until he solves the end of the game. I don't know who animated or directed this one; do you? The animation looks Seventies, but since all three girls are in dresses and slipper shoes -- a trend that ended firmly by the rise of 70's feminism and "relaxed" standards in school attire -- I'm voting 1969, and it looks, to me, animated by a woman.

Still needs some small tinkering, but I keep my promises. A dear friend, Cullen Pittman, asked in 2014 if I would please animate his well-known RebusQuest characters, Carson and his elf buddy Reba, teaching the letter E. I wanted to, but life got in the way. Well, at last here it is. Hand-drawn, hand-inked on Vellum paper, at last... RebusQuest.

Morgan Freeman, Lee Chamberlin and Skip Hinnant appear as The Butcher, The Baker, and Freddy The Fink on board a doomed marooned sink. I love Freeman's posture and expression (sheer disgust) through upper third of the segment and how Hinnant delivers his lone, final line. To me both are, at least to me lol as a director, HYSTERICAL! Joe Raposo, composer, probably 1972.

classic-sesame-street-rocket-countdown
Muppet Wiki insists this Yellow Submarine-plagiarizing but wonderful clip was aired multiple times in episodes between 1969 and 1971, but as I recall first of all MW completely misses even mentioning segments aired during those years like "Outdoor Games Played In Africa" (where the little ones are seen playing marbles and jumping rope while singing in Swahili, hello? Shot 1969?) as though those didn't exist, and this animated segment was aired on the show next to never. They're free to disprove that by uploading the many missing episodes not even I have they claim to be using as research. They won't: NOBODY HAS THOSE EPISODES.
Given a choice between "the internet's right" and my Asperger's memory is, sorry! I know what I saw and remember what you and I wore to kindergarten the day it did, and what I had for supper that evening, lol! As I recall, our shared chances in a given SS episode of seeing this cartoon segment were absolutely next to zero percent BECAUSE THEY SELDOM TO NEVER AIRED IT, NO MATTER WHAT MW says. So here it is at last, the Rocket Countdown clip where the Richard Nixon-lampooning announcer finally... wins :)
Again, Muppet Wiki is free to upload and post all the missing episodes they insist it aired in and I insist it didn't. They can include the episode that has the Swahili youngsters on film as well. You know we all remember that! I'll compare what they upload against actual records from CTW Archives.
We'll see who wins, lol. When it comes to this series and The Electric Company, I kinda know what I saw. And so do you. We ALL do. Enjoy!
